stealth rifles are good, some get teething trouble like a lot of guns here ,ive heard horror stories but it happens to air arms 410,s too, they used to come over here unlubed, but that got ironed out, check out some american sites/ air force airguns, some military units use them to take out streetlights quietly , at 200yds, with 25inch barrels, theres a tips site too,look under( airforce airguns home page)

This is my favourite rifle,its a 177 97k,with the shortened piston /long stroke ,it hits like a 22 maybe harder withheavy pellets,and is supremely accurate out to ridiculous ranges,the standard spring had to lose several inches to use at 11 ft lb,due to the extra air volume,and piston studs,and is glass smooth to lock and load,

there always will be, so the mistakes will mount

With the 177 you have the choice of lightweights for long range accuracy accupels/premiers, and for the heavy hitters you can use the 20 grain piledrivers, and they hit with a heavier thump than some 22s, so theres little more to argue about with the pellet conundrum,i have a weihrauch 97k in 177 the piston has been shortened , with a decent spring can put out near 20 ft lb, but that is not the reason the work was carried out,the gun shoots sweeter with a shorter spring so has more power for less effort,and seems more accurate for it,,

Dave -g does sum it up and ,i can go with that, i browse lots of shooting sites and im sure they all have their own sets of rules,but it seemed a little excessive , removing the picture and warning me would have been a more mature way of dealing with it, BUT rules are rules and i shall take my punishment without the slice of lemon

airgun bbs,it must be some anti airgun lobbying site from what im hearing,when you subscribe to these sites you expect to see hunting images,same with fishing/ even flower growers weekly has pictues of panzies being beheaded,do we plant lovers complain? The site is aimed at airgun enthusiasts,

That looks a fine brace fella, hope you enjoy as much as i do. definately easier to skin , but they probably lose a bit of flavour in doing so, they have special oil glands that flavour the meat and hold on to it during cooking,,having said that,duck seems to fayre well skinned, not half as messy

would you split as i would like the scope for my 97 Sorry fella, its got to go as a combo, hence the price,the rifle is the long stroke 97k, has more air volume, the under lever cocks further back due to the shorter piston,

Thanks guys, good to hear sense, it seems a bit strange to me , the site discusses shooting game in graphic detail but condones images, you cant have a magazine without images, like you say its good to see how others are doing and the lay of the land,keep up the good work chaps, nice one, heres another for good measure/ maggie bashing

long stroke/ higher air volume,buttoned piston,MY personal rifle is for sale , its a super smooth performer would suit similar pest controller, the rifle is an 07 model and was bought in march, for clearing bunnies off a golf course and farm land opposite, the golf course is clear of them now , and the turf fields are void of the critters, winter is upon us and im not hanging around in hides,to get the stragglers that are left, im letting them be for next year, the rifle is in lovely condition, theres the slight knocks that have left thir marks on the stock, as small as they are ,it is silent to cock and load , hence my success this year,comes with a 3-12+44 AGS SWAT scope and padded drag bag,(double shoulder straps,) im asking ?270 for this rifle which is a steal, send me a pm for more photos,the rifle has had extensive fac work carried out and has a long stroke conversion, which means the piston is shorter than a standard 97 so has 15mm more air volume the underlever comes further back on cocking, it is now legal limit with several inches off the standard spring, the piston has been buttoned,too ,the whole cocking cycle is like glass and can be cocked and loaded silently,

I was recently asked by my buddy to post a picture of my combo for sale in airgun bbs, so after editing the photo so it was large enough to see ok the bunnies in the picture had to be edited out, happy with the result i uploaded the image, only it hadnt changed from the original,i pondered on what i had not done for a mo, then turned off and went to bed, later the next day had a look for any feedback to find im banned from the airgun site for posting a picture containing dead rabbits,What has it come to, if it was a fishing rod with a picture of a decent cod in shot, i would be deemed a hero,

Up in scotland ive a shooting buddy who can hit a golf ball out to 110 yards with a FAC, hw 97k,long stroke, and takes rabbits regular at 80+ meters,an amazing rifle shot by an amazing bloke, 2 dots down on a mil dot scope, in 177. makes shooting springers kids play

swap and change baits regular , rats are cute , they remember what and where danger points are,and start avoiding certain areas,try biscits, old pies , some rotten fish,theres some good tips on this page try as many as you can, and move around each visit, dont shoot from the same spot ,

Theres hundreds of decent pellets out there a pellet for all occasions!! so dont take any notice of the caliber debate its PANTS, if you dont want overkill on smaller pests/game use heavier pellts,177 users have a choice of longer range shooting,or similar to 20 caliber for mid range =11 grain pellets //up to 20 + grain pellets for shorter ranges ,the important thing to do when useing the heavier pellets is to practice with them first,get used to their trajectory ,and limit your ranges to the weights of lead your useing,,and clean the barrel out before changing brands, the lubricants used in some pellets ,dont agree with others,happy shooting, theres a pellet for all situations these days,if you can be bothered testing a few different weights ,you wont need different guns for different game// if youve just tuned your airgun its a good idea to use heavier pellets to shorten the running in time,the gun will stop dieseling quicker than if you were useing lighter ones,
